Review by civil_society

I agree with the other review. This show was way overhyped. Johnson was promoted as a new, fresh approach to how black men are portrayed in the media but the show actually uses the same tired stereotypes that we've already seen countless times such as the male character with "anger issues." Or even worse, the nurse is overworked while her man has commitment issues and is mostly seen hanging out with his friends in the clubs. Even the white characters were stereotyped. This show literally had a "raisins in the potato salad" scene. It doesn't get much more unoriginal than that. I had high hopes for Johnson, but this was too far below mediocre for me. I love the idea of the show but the execution (writing, dialogue, and acting) was very amateur.
